at last you’ve opened your mind • but you find there’s not much going on up there • but that’s fine • because you’ve got more to give • it’s how you live, it’s how live • it’s what you take and what you give

see how they open their hands • and grab at everything that they possibly can • but that’s all right • you’ve gotta take what you can get • and if that’s the road we’re on • we’re gonna need it when we get there

but I get tired • I get tired, baby • waiting on these trains to come passing through my mind • the engines fire • oh they fire

locomotives burning down the tracks • a million miles per hour up my back • they never seem to reach me in time

and now you’ve opened your eyes • but nothing’s really changed ‘cause you’re still blind • you’re so blind • but so am I, so am I • and that’s the way that it is • we’re gonna stumble through this world together • never knowing what we missed

but I get tired, baby • I get tired • waiting on these planes to come crashing through my skies • jet engines fire • oh they fire

screaming out the words we said • a million miles above our heads • swinging down to pick me up • and save me from this drowning cup • I don’t want to run away • I just need some time to concentrate • and wait until the clouds have gone

I want to be with you all of the time • but if this is all we get • I’m going to take all that’s mine

babe, if this is all we get • I’m going to drink up each drop of you • until there’s nothing left • still tomorrow there’ll be crying • when I pack up my bags again • and cross the Illinois line • get myself back home again • across the Illinois line • we’ve gotta take what we can get baby • ‘cause I’m yours • and you’re mine

I want to be with you my love • I want to be with you all the time • I want to be with you my love • I want to be with you all the time

take off your glasses and you can see everything • drop your tambourine and it clatters in the sink • my eyeballs roll across the floor • I can’t run with you anymore

and we sit around and wait • but I can’t stand for it • won’t summarize the pain • when your mind washes back up on the shore • I can’t run with you anymore

but I wish you • would let me go • yeah I wish you • would let me go • let me go so I can find out on my own

and we’re flickering like lights • wave your flags until you’ve symbolized your right • and I’ve pounded on your windows • and I pounded on your doors • but I can’t run with you anymore

but I wish you • would let me go • yeah I wish you • would let me go • let me go so I can find out on my own • let me go so I can return to my home • let me go so I can relive every memory I’ve known • I can’t run with you anymore

when I go down at last at night • to find my sister the sunlight • as she runs from twilight’s dark horse • as he stains the stolen sky • and I fight for her • but the hands of time • hold me down and push me back inside • and when I’m released • I awake • and thank god • thank god I’m still alive

and the flying clown • found his dying owl • with wisdom and secrets and lies • and they fly around looking down • as the wolf lies down with his mourning bride • and a purple sky • dressed in azure eyes • plays piano • to ease my broken mind • so I reach out my hand • for her to kiss • and I become a neptune child…

tell your woman to stop • her tears • there’s no room for that here • fill your cup and drink it down • in her words we slowly drown

and she’s so in love with your sad, sad songs • and she’s going through with it all on her own • you say it loud and you say it soft • just thank god we are who we are • who we are

her whispers scream through your thoughts • planting seeds and growing crops • the record’s scratched like my guitars • I can’t listen to this music anymore • make it stop

and she’s going down with her soul in your arms • you start, you stop, you turn it on and you turn off • you say it loud and you say it soft • just thank god we know who we are • who we are • who we are
